What the PLOINK?

PLOINK is a techno club and label based in Bergen, Norway, operating in and outside its hometown. Ploink started out with a few name changes from ’96 but settled with today’s name during the grim autumn of ’99. Before Ploink (or Schwaa as we started out as) we made big and small raves in strange places inside and outside strange buildings in strange Bergen for a few strange years. We plan to fill in the story bit by bit under the posters below.. Check back..

It is perhaps difficult to catch the joke with the language on these two flyers, especially for German readers. Nowadays it doesnt seem so funny any longer us as well but this is somehow traceable to the iconic detective tv show Derrick which has been aired for decades in Norway.. Sentences like 'Ich bist Harry Klein, warum haben sie angst?' (the spelling is probably wrong) was absolute classics and a norwegian-german slang-language was born.. Possibly very local.. The enourmously influential german techno scene was Obviously also important. As well as some classic, german 80s-90s porn of course.
For some reason we silk-printed the flyers on plastic. Not our proudest moment. They'll probably survive us all.
